U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL,10) held a roundtable discussion about mental health services and gun violence prevention at the Deerfield Police Department on Wednesday.

At the talk, mental health experts, local law enforcement officials and representatives from organizations such as Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America called for swift action to reduce gun violence.

“Congress should expand background checks, limit magazine size and make gun trafficking a federal crime, but legislation alone won’t fully address the tragic instances of gun violence,” Schneider said in a statement. “We must also address the root causes of violence, including help for those suffering from mental illness, which is why I hosted a discussion with our local mental health leaders today to hear more about what resources, tools and support they need.”

Schneider is co-sponsor of various pending bills to expand gun background checks, strengthen gun violence prevention laws and provide communities with mental health crisis intervention services.

The congressman has held other discussions with experts on gun violence prevention in the past.
